[Bigsmc]

I'm going to go with an unorthodox pick 4 ticket (for me) as the 7th race beyond difficult and if the favorite fails in the 8th, there are several nice looking firsters.

Race 7

1 - Smart Rose - Her two best races this meet have been at 7f. Stepping up slightly from lifetime conditions.
2 - Shore Breeze Hero - Gatis kept this one rolling, she'll need to go further than ever though.
3 - Gold Jolie - Coming off a big win and gets Centeno.
4 - Close the Deal - Ness seems to have cooled off slightly in the last couple weeks. This one takes a double drop after losing as the chalk last out.
6 - Richie London - Last was impressive. Wright successful with a tiny sample of claims.
7 - Darby Lee - Another Ness, another horse-for-the-course (and distance). Scratched

Race 8

2 - Omega Cat - Works good. Sire good with firsters. RAJr and Proctor.
3 - Whiff - Works good. Sire good with firsters. Dam won MSW at PHA at first asking.
5 - Just Different - Cibelli great with firsters. Cruz riding well of late.
8 - Sky Ride - Works good. Sire good with firsters. Zweisler/Farish.
9 - Premier Roma - Just missed...twice. Bullet.

Race 9

8 - Fast Promises - We'll take the fastest dirt horse in a bad turf race.

Race 10

6 - Mulitcard - Zaidie calls on the bug to replicate the wire to wire maiden victory.
9 - Beautiful Insight - Just missed...twice. Battle of the bugs.

The ticket:

1,2,3,4,6/2,3,5,8,9/8/6,9

$50
